What will a b20 with a b16 head do for horsepower and torque

 

Good things

 

do you know how much

 

Go to http://www.b20vtec.com. I had one and I was the fastest N/A honda in my area.

 

Very fun motor!

 

it all depends on the build up. just bolting the two together will make about the same or even less than a stock b18c1 motor, but the low end will better.

 

Make sure if you use the basic head and block that you use ARP head bolts to keep the head on and make sure you wire the **** properly.

b20vtec ownz b18c1 any day.. does not have to be built.

 

if your dropping a stock head use the P72 one..more comp, unless you weld the chambers on the PR3 like me

does anyone know what i would need to get, after market that is, to make a b20/vtec reliable? i mean i know i could slap my B16 head on a b20 block, but what does it take to make it work? besides wiring the block for Vtec...need some help.

i only ask cuz im doing the work myself and trying to save on labor.

 

we talkin about the crv b20? or the 3rd gen preludes????

Its def. better than a gsr stock for stock.Maybe a JDM GSR will be somewhat comparable.

 

if you use the lower comp b20b, it will be very comparable to a b18c1 and will be way less reliable for high rpm use. basically, if you are not goin gto at least change the rods, get higher comp pistons, and arp headstuds, i see no point to building it. reliablility and decent power can both be had from a stock c1 or h22.

i love the b20/vtec motor, i just feel that its not worth just slapping the two together with no precationary measures.

 

ok cool thank you all for your info

 

ive heard soem differnt things but ive heard mostly that its about 180hp and 150 torq, i dunno if thats right but im pretty sure its close
